ARTIST: Trad and Anon TITLE: Happy Birthday Lyrics and Chords Happy birthday - ugh! Happy birthday - ugh! / Em Am Em - / / Grief and sorrow fill the air Children dying everywhere Happy birthday... / Em C G D / / Em Am Em - / / Plague and famine in the air [Gloom and doom and dark despair] People dying everywhere / Happy birthday... Fear and gloom and darkness but No one found out You Know What / Happy birthday... May the candles on your cake Burn like cities in your wake / Happy birthday... See the women wail and weep Kill them all but save the sheep / Happy birthday... You're a period cook, 'tis true Ask the beetles in the stew / Happy birthday... Now your jail-bait days are done Let's go out and have some fun / Happy birthday... May your deeds with sword and axe Equal those with sheep and yaks / Happy birthday... You must marry very soon Baby's due the next full moon / Happy birthday... Your servants steal, your wife's untrue Your children plot to murder you / Happy birthday... They stole your sword, your gold, your house Took your sheep but not your spouse / Happy birthday... Were I sitting in your shoes I'd go out and sing the blues / Happy birthday... Though you're turning 29 Age to you is like fine wine / Happy birthday... So you've lived another year Age to you is like stale beer / Happy birthday... So you're 29 again Don't tell lies to your good friend / Happy birthday... So another year has past Don't look back, they're gaining fast / Happy birthday... Long ago your hair turned gray Now it's falling out, they say / Happy birthday... Now you've lived another year And your death is drawing near / Happy birthday... Now you've reached the age you are Your demise cannot be far / Happy birthday... The Black Death just struck your town You yourself feel quite run-down / Happy birthday... Indigestion's what you get From the enemies you 'et / Happy birthday... See the lines upon your face Like the pattern of old lace / Happy birthday... At your age you ought to learn First you pillage, then you burn / On your birthday... Burn the castle and storm the keep Kill the women but save the sheep / Happy birthday... It's your birthday, never fear You'll be dead this time next year / Happy birthday... We brought linen, white as cloud Now we'll sit and sew your shroud / Happy birthday... I like children, yes I do Baked or broiled or in a stew / Happy birthday... I'm a leper, can't you see Have a birthday kiss from me / Happy birthday... Now you've lived another year Now you know that Death is near / Happy birthday... Children dying everywhere They say that cancer's caused by beer / Happy birthday... Famine, fear, fire and flood Can't keep your face out of the mud / Happy birthday... Burn, then rape by firelight Add romance to life tonight / Happy birthday... So far Death you have bypassed Don't look back it's gaining fast / Happy birthday...
